Tour Description
A glider is an unpowered aircraft - an airplane without a motor.
Gliders are amazing graceful machines and are about as close as humans can get to soaring
like birds. Just imagine yourself gliding effortlessly, silently, peacefully high above
the Nevada Desert, barely a sound to disturb you.
First your glider, since it lacks an engine, will be towed by our tow plane to the desired
altitude. Then feel the tow rope release as your glider takes to the desert thermals -
columns of rising air created by the heating of the Earth's surface.
Fly for approximately 30 minutes, where you will experience High G and Zero G maneuvers,
wing-overs, loops, spins and stalls! The thermals keep these unique aircraft airborne
(flight time may be extended if conditions permit). Without engines to disturb the silence
- the only sound you'll hear is the WOOOOOSH of the wind across the wings as you perform
some awesome aerobatics.
Our professional pilots all have more than 10 years of experience flying gliders so you
can just sit back and have a good time.
Our morning flights offer the smoothest rides, while our afternoon flights may be extended
due to optimum weather conditions. Try our sunrise or sunset flights for spectacular photo
opportunities!
Fun, Safe & Exciting! Acro glider flying is gaining momentum with thrill seekers. Come
check it out and see what all the buzz is about! Take a ride for yourself - if you think
you've got what it takes.
